Doh. Ah well it's good to have goals lol

Wwwwooooaahhh!! I just read this! You have the six string version of this???? You may (or may not) have spotted a few times me bemoaning over the last few years that there's two basses I've sold that just utterly gutted me to part with, and one of them was my black six string energy.(other was my streamer lx) :-( If you ever part with yours please drop me a line and I'd find a limb or relative to sell or something to raise the funds somehow someway lol!!!

Freakin loved it mate! totally cool, esp that middle 8/outro top stuff!

I ran an Ah400SMX with two 4x10's and a bright box for years, and often found the same thing, all the advice above is good! That said since I traded it for a smaller, lighter, punchier and unbelievably, louder markbass rig ive never looked back! (or had issues hearing myself, or had to wobble it down wet fire escapes at 3am!)

[quote name='BassJase' post='804163' date='Apr 12 2010, 09:07 PM']Im venturing into the world of hats because of prementioned pate reasons (getting a bit baldy now I'm 34!)

But this season I'll mostly be wearing bandanas as I'm going to live in China in a few weeks, playing 4 gigs a week, and it hits a warm 37 degrees usually there for the summer so it'll help keep the sweat outta my eyes![/quote]


Sounds ace! ( just to rub it in, me 'n my hair are 34 in a couple of months too;)

YES! i finally made it into this thread, heres a few of me with loungefly doing a dem for protools at the NEC gadget show live earlier this week.

hi mate, its standard 34" scale and fairly heavy, i cant drive so delivery is a bit tricky tbh

The fact that its so versatile from just the bass and my fingers, no need for onboard EQ, just a few pedals i like and my jazz basses and im happy ever after.,

why thank you, its a handy temporary shelving unit actually lol

bummer, that sucks, really sorry to hear that. Dont give up hope, getting bands of the ground is such a hard business but its worth it in the end, keep at it!

Thanks for the cross help, I of course still just wanged em on super quick, only one is really off i think, but hey. Heres the result as promised, please excuse the blend of hardware colour, its in the middle of a hardware change over.

When its me alone Ive always used the bassline from 'Goodnight though' by the wonderstuff, one of the first basslines I learned, it grooves, uses a decent range and I like it, I also like the fact that i still use it lol. I also do some high register stuff with harmonics, just to make sure they understand im not just a 'dum dum' bass player, and that i like the whole register of my bass to be heard, then i go through each effect like guitards do, so they also know im using 'em, they never ask!
The whole band normally play the first song in the set and then a verse/chorus of anything extra needed, such as more keys or extra bv's.

I have found the quality has dropped off in recent years tbh, Ive had tons of em, and some better than others.
(Incidentally Im after swapping a black GB7 type for a gold one at the mo if anyone has one going btw!)

see, im aleady confused, cause how do i see/wipe off the cross if ive stuck a decal over it?

On the other hand when switching from pedals to multi FX i have found this weekend onstage, that its best to wear smaller shoes, instead of big boots, for the close together switches so that you dont trigger a massive synth sound instead of the nice dirty flanger spot effect you were after.

Im a waiting a couple of sets also :-) ill post when i get em, although im impatient and hamfisted so expect wobblage

Only a passing comment of curiosity but i thought you might like a peek at my old 'bassmaster funk' i think it was made by tanglewood or cort, ive had it since the early '90s and its one ill never part with, kinda spector'y, right down to the concave back and really an amazing bass. It was £350 in a sale back in the day, and ive preffered it to most basses ive owned. Not much to be found out about 'em, only ever come across one other, which was an excited bloke on myspace who messaged me as surprised as i was to hear of another..





carry on.......

Monte Allums modded boss cs-3 compressor, great pedal, i have two so this one can go £45 posted


Boss noise suppressor, really a worthwhile addition to any rig, £45 posted


1980's Boss CE-2 no idea what label colour, its long gone. These go for silly money on ebay, but im not asking silly money as its quite chipped although well maintained and works prefectly. Just an awesome pedal.
So lets say £60 posted

Lol, know what you mean, I'm all in a flap cause there's a bass for sale that I reeeeeeally want ! Considering selling my whole fx board to get it! This will also cone with a White '70's pickguard too

Really need to shift this

Im selling on one of my wizard 'GAFFER' split coil humbuckers, which you may have spotted me waxing lyrical over. Its a punchy beast that simulates a P bass in a jazz sized casing and its just sublime, adds real meat and heft and is dead quiet. With the tone open think green day etc, that grind, but with it backed off its instant retro thud.

An awesome pickup £50 delivered

cooool!

snap your hand off for the bridge
